Sorry if you've already answered this - I've lost track of who said what. Have you selected the DAC as the default sound output device? (Or are you in the situation where the computer doesn't recognise it in DAC mode?)

I have the same problem. Actually my player works fine as a DAC with my gf's laptop and with my work PC, but it doesn't work with my laptop (there is no sound). I have no idea why. In all these cases the operating system thinks that the player is speakers, not the USB-DAC.

Did they work without any external speakers on your gf's laptop and your work PC?

my laptop's internal DAC sucks, that's why was hoping i'd only need the AK100 to work without any external speakers

I'm not sure if I understand your question, because it sounds a little bit strange for me. This player doesn't have any speakers so it can't play any sounds without headphones. If you want to hear anything, you should plug your headphones into the player.

Quick questions guys. Is there anyway to know when the AK100 is fully charged (whether in turned on / off mode)?
Also is anyone still experiencing the unreliable battery indicator on this device? It happened to me where it had half the battery on the indicator but suddenly one hour later it died on me.

Only way I know is to plug it in when switched off and it will show "Fully Charged" on the screen
